NIC? NAPIT? ELECSA? Which one?!

[SPARTYKUS]

NAPIT Don't do a dumbed down version, you've been mis-informed. It's for ALL electrical systems or none. Which makes it less than 1/2 the price of another one. And yes, renewal is £408 inc VAT. And can pay over 3 months.

I looked into this

elecsa - domestic idiot scheme
NAPIT domestic, - idiot scheme
NAPIT full scope. Possible nicec alternative? £600?
niceic domesic installer - idiot scheme
niceic approved contractor £1100+

I know which im going with first.

if you go from DI to Approved its only£370 inc vat and you only have to show 3 jobs the first year, then it's around £450 per year after that, so pretty much the same cost as a Part P scheme really once ur up and running

ECA is roughly the same cost as nic but with them you can access all the bs standards on line, which could save you alot of £££ especially if your installing emg lighting and fire alarms(and with bsi updating them every other year, and refusing to just publish amendments like they used to!)
And they have some good support services too, like if you need help with contracts etc on bigger jobs, alot of bigger companies join Nic and ECA

Hi

I guess one point re NicEic is the point that they were there at outset, leading the way, so there is a certain responsibility that came with that monopoly.

You like the NICEIC appear to be trying to rewrite history, the ECA was founded in 1901, whereas the NICEIC was started in 1956.

I think the point he was trying to make was, they haven't just sprung up out of nowhere on the back of part p like the rest of them
